About me
I’m a music industry professional, having worked in the business for around 8 years now. In that time I’ve been an in-house live sound engineer, interned for a handful of record labels, worked as a marketeer for frontline audio releases, marketed live show DVDs & Blu-rays and now work on retail & licensed merchandise for another major record label.
I’m also a freelance graphic designer, Director for an apparel company, a guitarist in a punk band and I produce hiphop on the side.
Despite all the above, I’m available for freelance work and would love to work on any projects you need doing. I specialise in Album Artwork but am available for any sort of project, big or small.

- Food for thought - HempHaving read lots around the Hemp plant and numerous conversations, I realised there was a common misunderstanding, and definite lack of education around the versatile plant. It's versatile make-up has allowed it to be used in many ways and over thousands of years. It is wrongly condemned for its relationship to its psychoactive cousin Cannabis. Using a range of papers, recycled and hemp, the book aims to educate and bring awareness to the many uses of the plant, explainging why it holds such legislation and offering some recipes for the incredibly healthy ingredient.
